Little life update:

-I’m finishing up my last few weeks of practicum at the drug & alcohol addictions center. I love it. I love the people I work with. However, I received an email saying my supervisor may be leaving and so I will be in need of a new site to do my internship. 

-I started the stronglifts 5x5 program and have been doing A and B workouts. You are only supposed to do one, hence the hobble. 

-Christmas is in 7 days, my birthday in 8! Hopefully, I don’t get sick like last year. 

Is working out solidly from 3+ months and not losing any weight (but my body has changed so I have to be happy with that), eating a caloric deficit, and being “good”... Only to find that your thyroid is hitting like 2 or 3 times under what its supposed to. 

I understand this isn’t horrible or tragic, its just hard to put so much effort in and not see that visual result you want. 

On the other hand my deadlift, clean and jerk, overhead press, bench, mile, pushups have all increased so much and I’m lucky to do what I do. 

Tomorrow I have a breakfast meeting with a woman who works at my dream counseling center. 

Needing this Snapchat filter in real life today. 1st of the month is always rough and we did rope pulls and deadlifts today.

I have no practicum placement. 

I’ve only gone to the gym 2x this week. 

BUT

Every single day I go is a new learning experience. We did strict shoulder presses (press? whatevs) today and I overloaded my bar and almost died 2x. Thank you guy on my right for saving me. 

I have literally never touched a barbell in my life before this week and today I did hang cleans and power cleans and pendlay rows. I feel good, I like getting up in the morning and I snag some runs on rest days.
